When the three of them were together, it felt like the good old days had returned.
Time passed quickly. It had been almost half a year since Xavier last came home.
“Xavier, what’s your routine at the military base like?” Mikayla asked as she recalled how she had no idea about Carlos‘ routine when she wanted to
call him back last time.
She had wanted to ask Josiah about Carlos‘ schedule, but Josiah refused to say a word about the military base. It all felt like such a mystery.
Xavier leaned forward from the back seat. “Theard my future brother–in–law is also from the military base.”
“Yes, and he’s quite impressivet Mikayla has been all over Xosa’s headlines lately because she’s spoiled by your future brother–in–law,” Julier said.
“Why do I sense a hint of jealousy.” Xavier grinned mischievously, revealing a row of shiny white teeth.
“Xavier, I swear I throw you off this overpass.” Juliet threatened, gritting her teeth. She and Xavier had personalities that clashed like the same poles of a magnet. Although they often argued when they met. Juliet would miss Xavier when he wasn’t around.
“Stop it, you two. Tell me more, Xavier Mikayla interjected and turned down the music in the car,
Juliet straightened up and focused on driving without further comment.
Xavier elaborated. “Well, for our military base, we get up at 5:40 am in the summer and 6:00 am in the winter. We sleep at 9:00 p.m., but the schedule may vary slightly depending on the training site. But generally, it’s similar. Which military base is my future brother–in–law in? Maybe I know him, or 1 can ask my friends”
Mikayla was caught off guard by Xavier’s question, realizing she knew very little about Carlos
“Mikayla, don’t tell me you know nothing about him,” Juliet couldn’t help but comment.
When Xavier first heard from Juliet that Mikayla was going to marry a man whom she had only met once, he was shocked.
And now, with the wedding approaching, she still seemed to know nothing about him.
Mikayla bit her lip. Her expression said it all.
“We’re here. Seriously though, how are you so lucky, Mikayla?” Juliet said as she slammed the door hard, grumbling internally. She manages to randomly choose someone so outstanding
Years later, Juliet would learn that Mikayla’s choice wasn’t as random as it seemed. Having experienced betrayal in love, she still remained rational
t you dich Brantley and try picking someone randomly?” Mikayla joked.
“Why o
y don’t!
“No, thanks. If I had that kind of luck. I’d go buy a lottery ticket Juliet replied.
The three walked into the barbecue restaurant.
The restaurant was said to have been founded several decades ago. It started as a small roadside stall selling spicy skewers and gradually transformed into a proper restaurant over time. Now, having expanded into a barbecue restaurant several times its original size, it was still packed every evening. Mikayla, Juliet, and Xavier had loved this place since they were kids. Despite their upper– class background, it didn’t stop them from enjoying delicious street food. The owner, who had watched them grow up, always made sure to reserve a table for them if they called ahead
Barbecue was best enjoyed in a lively setting, so they chose to sit in the bustling hall. Despite the noise, the atmosphere was infectious.

Specialty marinated wings, skewers, chorizo, mussels, clams… Oh, how I missed these! Xavier murmured inwardly as he read the menu, feeling a sense of nostalgu.
“Hey, have you just been released from prison or something?” Juliet yelled when she saw that Xavier had checked off almost every meat item on the order sheet
Just let him order whatever he wants” Mikayla chuckled while mixing the seasoning, adding some salt for Xavier.
“You’re the best. Mikayla!” Xavier grinned.
